Delivering alongside Nelson on Trafalgar Square

One of our experienced London based porters, Lee Simmons, recently suffered a motorcycle accident which left him unable to carry out his usual duties as a Bishopsgate road crew member. Bishopsgate recognise the skill involved in carrying out our deliveries and the wealth of experience that Lee has, having been with us since 10 December 2007 and so took the decision to re-locate Lee to our Swindon Head Office, to work in the Customer Services Department.

This gave him time to recuperate whilst gaining experience with the Customer Services team allowing Lee to understand how a delivery starts and finishes its journey alongside some of the intricacies associated with each of our customers.

Happily, Lee is now fully fit and back to his usual duties, armed with his experience in the Customer Services position. When Lee recently carried out a job delivering an ice cream freezer on behalf of Unilever to the Café in the Square, Trafalgar Square, London WC2 Lee thought ‘what a fantastic photo opportunity’, something he admits that probably would not have crossed his mind before his work within the office.

After the success of having Lee in the Swindon office Bishopsgate are now creating a training rotation to have each member of road crew work within the office for a week at a time, as it has proved so invaluable for the crews understanding of customer needs.

I just wanted to express my appreciation to Bishopsgate and all it’s management, back office staff, warehouse personnel and driving crews for all their work and effort on behalf of the UK Schneider ITB and our end customers since taking us on as a customer in May.

Under difficult circumstances and tight time frames you have met and indeed exceeded our expectations. read more

I just wanted to say how very grateful I am to the team who attended my delivery today in Leeds. They went above and beyond to ensure that the delivery went right first time. They were fantastic and I think I would have been in tears without their help.

I’ve been with Draeger for 10 years and Bishopsgate are by far the most professional logistics company I’ve dealt with!

Just a quick note to ask you to pass on my thanks to your drivers Tony Seager & Chris Hopkins for the excellent job they did with the delivery of 20 large pallets of equipment to Nottingham City Hospital. They did a sterling job and made things much easier for my engineers.

I am writing to praise your two delivery drivers who delivered the new cooker into our showroom this morning. They took great care and consideration in unwrapping it, taking it through the showroom and into its space. Too many times we receive deliveries and the drivers just don’t bother. It was very much appreciated!! Many thanks again!!

A totally professional job from the call to the final placement of the goods. Superb. As a former truck driver with 25 years experience I know how jobs like this should be done. I have to say I could not been happier with my delivery today. A totally professional job from the call to say they were on their way to ensuring I was happy with the placement of the goods. Superb
